Abstract: We define the sharply bounded hierarchy, SBH (QL), a hierarchy of classes within
P , using quasilinear-time computation and quantification over values of length log n.
It generalizes the limited nondeterminism hierarchy introduced by Buss and Goldsmith,
while retaining the invariance properties. The new hierarchy has several
alternative characterizations.
We define both SBH (QL) and its corresponding hierarchy of function classes,
FSBH(QL),and present a variety of problems in these classes,... (Update)

.... Bounded Hierarchy, an alternation based hierarchy built on quasilinear time and O(log n) bit existential and universal quantifiers [5, 9]. Extensive studies are done on limited nondeterminism in the context of finite automata and pushdown automata. See [19] 20] 26]...
.... literature about characterizing computational complexity classes in terms of algebraic recursion schemes, e.g. [Cob64, Gur83, GS89, CL90, BC92, Bel95, GG95, Lei95, BBG96]. In this paper, we invent a recursion scheme for unary functions that allows composition of functions and...
